don't think i ever had BH with ds1 - is this what i'm having now? [mildly concerned]

[InternationalMouseOfMystery]

bump very uncomfortable

feels like everything's pushing down

bump also tight and hard

(34+1 btw)

.

Sounds like bh to me. I got them quite painfuly with dd. I've now started getting them this time. If your worried though ring midwife or ward at hospital

I'm 25wks plus 2 x

i never had them either, tuts, but it does sound like what i was told to watch out for. [vague] [unhelpful]

thanks both

it hurts

ooh, ooh, ooh but just think about it..! you're going to have a Baby! it's unbelievably exciting, really, especially coming from where we've been. [grni]

aw stop it aitch, am already unbelievably hormonal and emotional atm

will you have another baby, gwan gwan gwan

aw i'd love to, if i could shake the feeling that it's like facing a firing squad.

Tutter, is that you? I had bh loads with no. 3, to the point where I was sure I was going into labour each time. If you are at all concerned, the best thing is to ring the labour ward and see what they say. If they are bh, they will be irregular (and possibly evening only, you get a rise in a certain hormone level - can't remember which one - at night and this can trigger contractions) - and obviously they will stop! But you could go in for monitoring just to be on the safe side if it is making you nervous.

Miaou (34 weeks also!!)

aitch - and a bit do you mean the getting to the pgcy bit? can't remember how long you were on that board last time

miaou, yes, tis i. it feels mighty odd and not too pleasant. unless it gets v painful i shall sit tight til thursday - am due to go for a scan then anyway (large baby)

Poor you Tutter! Just keep an eye on movements etc and ask at the hossie on Thursday then

I didn't have any with dd but have been having loads with this one (30 weeks)

Bluddy uncomfortable!

i think it's cos i had two, tutter. i really have to work up to trying, it's terrifying. i know all the stuff, blah blah blah but i'm frightened. anyway, back to your fun braxton hicks pains. haven't seen your bump in a while, any photos?

i might take a pic later...

Hi Tutter
Had this on Friday night and was convinced I was in labour! Was restless, couldn't sleep, back aches and 'Contractions'. They weren't that painful though and very irregular. Was made worse by back ache me thinks.
How are they feeling now?
PPS (34+4) XX

hi pps, much better now thanks

felt odd all through the evenign

has frightened me into organising my hospital bag today

Great minds think alike- I'm doing mine too. Trying to decide what to wear for labour and what clothes to take for the baby! Its all too many decisions!
Glad you are feeling better now.

is this your first, pps?

Yes- 1st timer here! Really excited/ nervous/ Anxious etc all at once. No idea what to expect and just want the baby to be here now!
How about you?

ah, tis a very exciting time

i have a ds (2yo) already - expecting ds2

i think i gave birth in a short nightie last time - hazy memory!

Same here with the braxton hicks... Am 34+2 and bump goes really hard and it kind of takes my breath away a bit. Just uncomfortable really. I never had them with DS1 but this time (DS2) I've had them for a few weeks now. They started to go into a pattern the other night and I was having them every 10 mins or so... Scared me a bit thats for sure! . Can you report bakc tutter and let us know what the hospital say??? My next appointment isn't for another 2 weeks.

will do chooster

we're due the same day, both with 2nd dsses

spooky

how old is your ds?

DS1 just turned 3 three weeks ago. How do you feel about having another DS? I'm really excited by it but I've had a few people say, "did you hope for a girl?" .
